I taught Carlos everything he knows about hooking pigs......

Nice to turn loose the kids and see them succeed on their own.....

Lets just say this I stuck a 21 foot Ranger on the stump in front of the ramp by accident one day due to high wind conditions and it took me almost 45 minutes to get it off. A few stumps that is putting it mildly. When you own a $35000 bass rig you don't take chances like that. I am going to Chelan for some real fish. Good luck to all at Kapowisin, just not for me.

Brian I will be there to challenge this water.....we have all been on Silver and if we can "Crawl" away from that water we can sure get out on Kapowsin.....
JEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!
ARE THESE FISHING BOATS OR BEAUTY PAGENT FLOATS?

Kudos to Brian, as he got in touch with 3 of the 4 guys who were at the launch Saturday and is setting them up to get out on the water with someone.

He needs to confirm who the 4th guy was, though, so please let Brian (or me) know if you showed up and he hasn't talked to you yet - or if anyone knows who the other person was. My understanding is that he is a newer member and had won a rod at a recent meeting and put a nice Shimano reel on it.

Thanks!

First of all, Yes there are a few underwater obstructions at Kapowsin, and I wouldn't suggest for anyone to fire up the big motor unless they had a second person on the front watching for them. Second, why do you think this lake has the big fish that it does? I'd be interested to see what kind of monster Ron H. or Carlos could pull from this "pond". Dispite the water having a "tea colored stain look" you can still see down 4+ ft.  Black & blues, browns and greens are well known colors on this lake.

Instead of Kapowsin, why dont you guys come down more my way and hit up Black Lake? LOTS of BIG FISH!, not for me though this year, only fished it once this year, mainly because of my mom not being able to drop me off.

BIG FISH! LM and SM for everyone!

Thats what I was getting too Russ.  I remember trolling for trout YEARS ago on Kapowsin.  I was out in the middle and hit a log and came to a complete stop.  Car toppers only for me.

Kapowasin in a Bassboat, are you nuts? ???
Your asking for trouble there. You couldn't give me a $100 bucks to put my boat on that pond, way too many stumps wider than your bassboat.
Russ

Glad your rig is up and running again Brian.  The fish-in's sound good.  I think I'll be running solo at Kapowsin in the 9 foot though.  I already broke a MK shaft on my little boat before, I don't want the next to be my 74 Maxxum.

To all those who showed up I apologize for the last minute botch, it seemed that all was going to work out until the last minute, then everything went south fast.  Could someone please get the names of those who showed up to me?  If there is anything good about the weekend is that my rig is finally back on the road again after alot of cursing and bleeding nuckles. Hopefully this kind of thing will never happen again.  This next months fish-in will be at Lake Sammamish on the 12th and then Septembers will be on Kapowsin lake on the 2nd providing that the launch is finish on time, (It's looking good so far!! 8) )

I heard they had didn't have enough boats or something so they didn't even show.

Does anyone know if the Lake Union study was going on that day?  Did we let them down terribly or what?

I'm sorry that no one showed up with a boat.

Once I found out that no one with a boat had made it, I was hoping that since I hadn't seen any complaints, no non-boaters had shown up and were disappointed.

Please accept WBC's apology for having no boats there. We'll make it up to you.

Stu

Not one boater showed up?    That's a first.  Where was Brian?  Is he still running the Ambassador program?  Sorry if this is old news, I haven't been able to make it to the meetings this year.

Sorry to hear the Fish in got botched...I was at the Potholes having fun in the sun! 8)
